Kevin Marti was kind enough to fax me a Deluxe report while we're waiting for our Elite report to be generated and sent to us. I sent a copy to Paul immediately, and it should JUST make it to him before the January 31st deadline for the new edition. Many thanks again to Kevin Marti for the absolutely terrific service and getting this copy to us by fax so that I could send it away in the mail to Paul.
The good news is that this report confirms what we'd been previously told, that the car was originally sold in Vancouver, B.C., Canada (Dominion Vancouver Motors Ltd. on Seymour Street), plus it filled in a few blanks about the original factory supplied options. It is an original "GT Equipment Group" car, with four speed wide ratio trans, power disc brakes, power steering, deluxe seat belts, front seat headrests, console, and remote driver's side mirror. Candyapple red with standard black interior, "S" code 390 4V. It doesn't specify the configuration of the wheels or wheel covers, so we'll use a bit of "licence" there and install a set of chrome GT wheels with the GT caps, just 'cause we like the looks of them so much!
The car is progressing steadily, with a new set of replacement front seat covers and new foam cushions to replace the 40 year old, worn and torn originals being installed as I type this. The replacement stripe kit is partially installed now, and two broken window regulators are also being replaced. We hope to have it back in our hands in about 2 weeks or so, and will take a few more current photos to post in the members gallery when we get it home. There will be lots more yet to do before the car is really "up to snuff", but it will all come together with a bit more time spent on it.
We're hoping to attend the North West Mustang Roundup in Bellvue, Washington that is scheduled for July 17th through 20th and look forward to meeting a few of the other CaliforniaSpecial.com forum members there.
Best regards to all,
GT/CS S Code
